We are excited to announce that SecondBloom™ Auctions, a leading auction management firm in the controlled agriculture space, has been selected to oversee the sale of key assets from AeroFarms’ original vertical farming facility in Newark, NJ.
The online auction will run from August 28 to September 18 and will include specialized agriculture equipment such as lighting systems, automation technology, racking, and more from AeroFarms’ 212 Rome facility. All asset removal must be completed by September 28.
Chris Lange, CEO of SecondBloom Auctions, said, “We look forward to leveraging our expertise to ensure a smooth transition that maximizes value for Aerofarms’ stakeholders.” Interested parties can learn more about the auction at www.secondbloomauctions.com.
In April 2023, AeroFarms announced that it was moving all operations from its Newark facility to its state-of-the-art facility in Danville, Virginia. With the transition to Danville complete, the assets in the Newark facility are now available for sale through this auction.
AeroFarms representatives will be onsite at the 212 Rome facility during the preview days on September 7-8 to showcase assets and assist potential bidders. Interested bidders are required to fill out the advanced viewing form on SecondBloom Auctions website under the auction lot they are interested in. The AeroFarms team will also coordinate and oversee the asset removal by winning bidders, a process that must be concluded by September 28th.
